Removing the body from a 79
I need some specific steps on how to remove the body from the frame. I decided to take the plunge and do this thing proper. I have an overhead crane so that makes it marginally less dificult. I just need to know what needs to be taken off/loosened so that the entire body can be taken off and set to the side.
I looked in the tech tips area but couldn't find a write up on this. If it's easier, since I have a feeling that this would be a long explanation, maybe if someone has a book that has a really good description of this job it would be great if you told me where I could get a copy.
Thanks for the help

Re: Removing the body from a 79 (79Batmobile)
When I did my 65, years ago I bought the Noland Adams "Body lift book" most vendors have it. It also shows how to make the body dolly out of 2x4's and 4x4's. The plans for the dolly are on the forum. From what I recall the punch list had 72 steps, some more obvious then others. They also sell his video too. Good luck
